Was told that he got cut and is looking BCHL. Not super good for anyone

It's the absolute worst.

Schlossman said in his article it was precautionary and he'll be fine for Manitoba.

We all do . I'm sure they feel the same way about us.

Preseason media poll: https://nchchockey.com/news/2022/9/21/mens-ice-hockey-denver-tops-2022-23-nchc-preseason-media-poll.aspx Again seems about what I expected and pretty spot on. 1) DU (19 first-place votes) 2) UND (4) 3) UMD 4) St. Cloud 5) Western 6) CC 7) Omaha 8) Miami

Good news from Judd. Take that step, buddy. We need ya. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/judd-caulfield-wins-unds-iron-man-competition 1) Juddy 2) Costantini 3) Sendo 4) Schmaltz 5) James Sounds like Hain nor Frisch did the entire Ironman.

Our fanbase... we're kind of a lot to handle.

I don't even like us lol.

You've said it a few times on this thread, "college hockey is an upperclassman's game". We have some absolutely outstanding upperclassmen. Sprinkle in some new faces with A LOT of potential and we have a chance for a great season. But, until we see it happen, it's all just on paper.

Ness was back at practice today, FYI. Apparently nothing big. Been putting in and working on systems the past week or so, so not a lot of line building. DeRidder looking sharp. Was told he's very calm in the net and very technical.

Probably Boaty McBoatface, actually.

Because it's awesome!

Do these come with sick shoes to mow the grass with?!

I wish him the best. But, again, another overreaction when he de-committed from UND. Our coaches know what they are doing! Are they perfect? No, but more often than not, they make the right move.

Is this something I can buy? I'd buy this today.... not kidding.

I think this team will certainly not lack in speed or tenacity. There are too many upperclassmen who know the routine. To be able to get through heavy forecheck, those are two very big factors. Another element to get through heavy forecheck, defense is skill. I think we have a nice influx of skill in our freshmen and I do expect a couple of players to make solid progression. We'll see, but I am certainly hopeful.

This team will possess the puck just fine, IMO. They may not win A LOT of draws, but they are loaded with big, strong, fast bodies that will dig out pucks. Guys like Schmaltz, Costantini, Judd, Kunz, Portz should all take scoring steps. That's 30+ goals from those guys. Hain was having a fantastic start to his season and along with contributors like Sendo and Jammer, they should AT LEAST score as much as they did last year. With them adding high impact freshmen to a deep and skilled d-corps, I think you may be a little bit underselling the scoring punch. We'll be average to above average in goal scoring. Pair that with a top tier D and solid goaltending, you have a very good to great team.

I feel the same way. So much good leadership and our defense will be absolute stalwarts. Assuming progression in goal scoring from returners and a bunch of new, highly-skilled forwards, we have something cookin.

I think Moore is paired with Farmer a lot and has a massive year.

Updated: Ness and Monty were both at practice, but not playing. Neither had a cast or anything noticable Moore - Frisch Kleven - Farmer Jandric - Johnson Bast - Sidorski

Someone is needy ...

Here's what we've got today from practice: Gaber - McLaughlin - Kunz Sendo - Costantini - Blake Hain - Schmaltz - James Strinden - Jammer - Portz Caulfield - Albrecht Discuss!

Wrong thread. That's the OTHER dumpster fire we have currently smoldering
